Two Alternative Frameworks for Deploying Spoken Dialogue Systems to Mobile Platforms for Evaluation “In the Wild” (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hastie, H., Aufaure, M., Alexopoulos, P., Bouchard, H., Cuayáhuitl, H., Dethlefs, N., Gašic, M., Guimeráns, A. G., Henderson, J., Lemon, O., others, & Yu, Y. (2014, September). Two Alternative Frameworks for Deploying Spoken Dialogue Systems to Mobile Platforms for Evaluation “In the Wild”. Presented at 18th Workshop on the Semantics and Pragmatics of Dialogue, Edinburgh

We demonstrate two alternative frameworks for testing and evaluating spoken dialogue systems on mobile devices for use “in the wild”. We firstly present a spoken dialogue system that uses third party ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) and TTS (Text-T...

Ontology based classification for multi-label image annotation (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reshma, I. A., Ullah, M. Z., & Aono, M. (2014, August). Ontology based classification for multi-label image annotation. Presented at 2014 International Conference of Advanced Informatics: Concept, Theory and Application (ICAICTA), Bandung, Indonesia

Image annotation has been an important task for visual information retrieval. It usually involves a multi-class multi-label classification problem. To solve this problem, many researches have been conducted during last two decades, although most of t... Read More about Ontology based classification for multi-label image annotation.

Query subtopic mining for search result diversification (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ullah, M. Z., & Aono, M. (2014). Query subtopic mining for search result diversification. In 2014 International Conference of Advanced Informatics: Concept, Theory and Application (ICAICTA) (309-314). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICAICTA.2014.7005960

Web search queries are usually short, ambiguous, and contain multiple aspects or subtopics. Different users may have different search intents (or information needs) when submitting the same query. The task of identifying the subtopics underlying a qu... Read More about Query subtopic mining for search result diversification.

Optical performances of refractive Crossed Compound Parabolic Concentrator CCPC (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sellami, N., & Mallick, T. (2014, September). Optical performances of refractive Crossed Compound Parabolic Concentrator CCPC. Presented at 29th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition, Amsterdam

The design of solar concentrators depends on its application (thermal or PV) and on the tracking system that will be used. Low geometrical concentration ratios (Cg) are <10x and generally tend to be static concentrators; in this case they have to be...

Mapping on surfaces: Supporting collaborative work using interactive tabletop (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sinmai, K., & Andras, P. (2014). Mapping on surfaces: Supporting collaborative work using interactive tabletop. In CYTED-RITOS International Workshop on Groupware (319-334). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-10166-8_29

We investigate the usability of our mindmap application using a tabletop integrated with four Android tablets in the context of support for collaborative work. This paper presents two empirical studies that compares the conventional paper-and-pen app... Read More about Mapping on surfaces: Supporting collaborative work using interactive tabletop.

Heat Exchanger Networks Retrofitted with Simultaneous Pressure Recovery (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Onishi, V., Ravagnani, M., & Caballero, J. A. (2014). Heat Exchanger Networks Retrofitted with Simultaneous Pressure Recovery. In XX Brazilian Congress of Chemical Engineering – COBEQ 2014

This paper presents a new optimization model for the retrofit of heat exchanger networks (HENs), in which the pressure recovery of streams is used to enhance heat integration. Especially important in sub-ambient processes, the HEN retrofit with press... Read More about Heat Exchanger Networks Retrofitted with Simultaneous Pressure Recovery.

Advances in Additive Manufacturing Processes (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
